The easiest way to run a tournament between friends. Create a tournament by selecting a format and adding competitors. As the tournament progresses, you can update scores and view standings. TournaMake will automatically determine the next rounds of the tournament matches. Group Stage + Knockout: Competitors are divided into groups. Each group has its own inner round-robin tournament, where every competitor faces its other group members one time each. Standings are calculated based on each match result. Top 2 competitors from each group advance to the knockout stage. In some cases, depending on how many competitors are in the tournament, the best 3rd-place wild cards may also advance to the knockout stage. Knockout: Each competitor in the knockout stage is paired against another competitor. Winner of each match advances, and loser is eliminated. Semi-final losers get a chance to play each other for 3rd place. If a competitor is paired against a *Bye*, that competitor automatically advances to the next round. -Allows 4-64 competitors per tournament. -Standings and schedules update upon completion of matches. -Standings include tiebreakers, such as head-to-head record, and differential. -During knockout stage, bracket can be zoomed out to view all matches.
